Spencer said publicly traded companies have to show constant growth or else nobody will give them money.

      No but if you “just want to make cool and fun games” you wouldn’t fund Gears 5 or Halo Infinite now would you?

  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
